Summer gingham party

Today's party is using super bright fun colors: island indigo, daffodil delight, and melon mambo. The stamp set is the same one used last night "blooming marvelous " and the designer paper is gingham party. Love the colors seems like I need to be slurping on a big piece of watermelon . Happy stamping! Remember all of these products are available at www.stampendous.stampinup.net

Weaving and wowing

This morning before the kiddos got up I was feeling extra crafty and decided to try something I have never done before. I played with strips of paper to weave the front of my card. Now granted when I finished and stepped back and looked I realized that my island indigo was a bit too dark of a paper choice to coordinate with the gingham picnic. The second picture just shows where I dry embossed the front after finishing . 

Playing with new paper and stamps..

I was beyond thrilled when the ups man stopped by not once but twice this week. That meant new goodies from the new Stampin up catalog. Tonight's post is for two new colors (island indigo is actually. Bring back) and the other is calypso coral . You will notice that I have layered these with very vanilla and chocolate chip. The sentiments are from a new set entitled true God and also simply sketched.
